Rethinking Tooling: How Additive Manufacturing Solves Traditional Machining Challenges
In manufacturing, tooling comes in all shapes and sizes — from jigs and fixtures to custom end-of-arm tools (EOAT). Regardless of the tool, one thing is universal: manufacturers want it made quickly, efficiently, and at a reasonable cost. Yet, traditional tooling production often presents roadblocks that slow down workflows, drive up costs, and limit design flexibility. With additive manufacturing (AM), these barriers are removed, giving companies the ability to produce high-quality tools faster, cheaper, and…
